Li Shiwen, whose name was suddenly called by Sun Manrou, could only stand up and greet Chen Xier respectfully.

"Auspicious Concubine Xi"

Chen Xier looked at Li Shiwen, who was standing opposite her in a light green outfit.

Although she was under house arrest, she heard that the emperor had recently shown some favor to Concubine Li.

Li Shiwen's appearance was not outstanding in the harem, but it was said that the emperor liked her beautiful handwriting, which is why she caught the emperor's eye.

Chen Xier smiled and nodded

"So this is Miss Li. Your Majesty has good taste."

Chen Xier said this, but she was furious in her heart.

She had only been under house arrest for three months, but the emperor listened to Lin Junxue and favored many concubines in succession according to their positions in the harem. Did he ever think of giving her any favor?

Seeing this, Sun Manrou continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Sister Xi, you may not know this, but this Concubine Li is not only favored by the Emperor, but also loved by the Queen. Now, among all the sisters in the harem, Concubine Li is the one who is closest to the Queen."

When Chen Xier heard this, she looked up and down at Concubine Li.

Is she close to the Queen?

Afterwards, Chen Xier pretended not to care and said, "Sister Li's charming look is something I also like very much, not to mention the Queen herself."

Sun Manrou secretly pouted in her heart and thought to herself, Chen Xier just keep pretending.

She might hate this noble lady Li in her heart. She pretends to be generous.

Li Shiwen looked at Sun Manrou. This concubine was clearly pushing herself out as a pawn.

She said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I am extremely grateful for the emperor's grace and the queen's favor."

Sun Manrou thought of how Concubine Li had openly contradicted her at the banquet before, and she was so angry that she was about to speak again.

Chen Mi, who had been drinking tea without saying anything, spoke lightly.

"Mrs. Li's temperament is elegant and peaceful, and I like her very much."

Seeing Chen Mi helping Li Shiwen out, Sun Manrou's eyes turned cold. She glanced at Chen Mi with some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Why did Concubine Mi speak up for this bitch?

Li Shiwen looked at Chen Mi gratefully, and Chen Mi looked back at her.

After Li Shiwen sat down again, everyone fell silent.

Next second

The curtain is opened

Lin Junxue came out with Qiaoxin, Danzhen and Guyu.

Today, she was wearing a lavender palace dress decorated with agate, which made her look dignified and elegant.

Lin Junxue walked to the main seat and sat down, and the concubines knelt down to pay their respects.

"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"

Lin Junxue's gaze fell on Chen Xier, who was in the lead, but she looked away after just a glance.

It seems that the favorite concubine is not going to be bright and flamboyant anymore. Is she going to be replaced by a pitiful little white flower?

"Get up"

After the concubines stood up, Chen Xier suddenly knelt down on the ground again.

Everyone looked at her action with different thoughts.

Imperial Concubine Xi has just been released from house arrest. What's going on now?

Lin Junxue picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, looked at Chen Xier who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke softly

"Empress Xi, what does this mean?"

Chen Xier looked delicate and repentant. She raised her eyes and looked at Lin Junxue, showing the deep sisterly love.

It seemed as if the conversation between the two of them at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner three months ago had never happened.

Chen Xier said, "I have done something wrong in the past, but now I know I am wrong. I was able to be released from house arrest only because of the Emperor's forgiveness and the Empress' grace. I should kowtow to the Empress to express my gratitude."

After saying that, Chen Xier kowtowed heavily.

No one expected that Concubine Xi would be so embarrassed as to kowtow to the Queen in public and admit her mistake?

Lin Junxue looked at Chen Xier and thought to herself that she was indeed a favorite concubine for many years, and she was able to bend and stretch.

Today, Chen Xier's bow reached Xie Yu's ears.

Who knows how she, as the queen, would look at Chen Xier and force her to kneel down and kowtow to express her gratitude.

Lin Junxue stood up, walked to Chen Xier, and personally helped her up. Looking at Chen Xier with red eyes,

"What are you talking about, Concubine Xi? We are all sisters serving the Emperor, so it is inevitable that we will make mistakes. The matter has already passed, so don't mention it again in the future. I can see that Concubine Xi is not in a good mood."

Lin Junxue continued, "Qiaoxin, pass on my order and have the Ministry of Internal Affairs send all the blood swallows for next month to Concubine Xi's palace. Take good care of Concubine Xi's health and make sure she doesn't get sick."

Chen Xier's hands froze. She had originally wanted to make the emperor feel sorry for her by kneeling, but she didn't expect that Lin Junxue would outwit her.

Yueyan gave all of them to her Xianya Palace, which simply brought hatred to her.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Junxue finished speaking, all the concubines immediately became unhappy.

There are only so many blood swallows every month, and each palace has a certain amount of them.

But if the Queen gives it all to Concubine Xi at once, doesn’t that mean they will have nothing next month?

Chen Xier felt sick to her heart, but she had to show an expression of being touched.

"Thank you, Queen, for the reward."

Lin Junxue returned to her seat, sat down, and looked at the people below.

Sun Manrou then said, "Your Majesty, this royal hunting event is so exciting."

Listening to Sun Manrou's weird tone, the other concubines lowered their heads.

This is the Royal Hunt, it is indeed "exciting"

First, the Queen was tricked by Concubine Wu using a white fox coat and almost lost her life. Then, an old palace official like Concubine Yue was so bold as to drug the Emperor in order to win his favor.

In one month, first a talented person died, and then a concubine was deposed.

Lin Junxue took a sip of tea, raised her eyebrows, and said slowly, "It's wonderful, but it's a pity that the Concubine Chen couldn't go with us this time. It's a pity that she didn't see it."

As soon as this word comes out,

Sun Manrou's face froze slightly, and she immediately became a little unhappy.

Everyone present knew why Sun Manrou didn't go to the royal hunting ground?

The queen's words were understated, but they really hit the nail on the head.

When the other concubines saw that it was Sun Manrou who suffered a loss, they all felt happy about her misfortune.

After the concubines paid their respects and left, Lin Junxue asked Li Shiwen to sit for a while.

After Li Shiwen left, Danzhen came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xi brought thousands of copies of Buddhist scriptures to Taiwu Palace."

Lin Junxue nodded calmly and said, "Tonight, lock the palace gate early."

Danzhen nodded in agreement

Taiwu Hall

Chen Xier was dressed in elegant attire, kneeling on the ground crying, and recounting the love between her and Xie Yu in the past. When Xie Yu softened his heart, she presented him with a Buddhist scripture that she had copied herself, which finally calmed Xie Yu down. In the evening, Xie Yu asked Chen Xier to sleep with him.

Many concubines secretly gritted their teeth, how could Concubine Xi regain favor so easily?

Second day

When she came to pay her respects at Zhonghe Palace, Chen Xier had returned to her radiant and radiant demeanor as a favored concubine.

next month

Xie Yu spent most of his time resting in Xian'ya Palace, and Chen Xier returned to her former glory.

Concubine Mi, Concubine Chen, and Noble Lady Li all served him in bed once, but Xie Yu was the only one who never went to Zhonghe Palace again.
